Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1573 2 Kreuzers (½ Batzen) coin from the City of Konstanz (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "K" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Stadt Konstanz" (City of Konstanz) and signifies the coin's origin.
